Marcos 13:17

17 ¡Qué terribles serán esos días para las mujeres embarazadas y para las madres que amamantan!

Marcos 13:17 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:17

But woe to them that are with child
Who because of their burdens, would be very unfit for, and very incapable of fleeing with any haste; and therefore very liable to fall into the hands of the enemy, and become their prey:

and to them that give suck in those days;
who could not bear to leave their children behind, and yet would not be able to carry them with them; at least not without great trouble, and which would much retard their flight, and endanger their being taken by the enemy; (See Gill on Matthew 24:19).

Marcos 13:17 In-Context

15 La persona que esté en la azotea no baje a la casa para empacar.

16 El que esté en el campo no regrese ni para buscar un abrigo.

17 ¡Qué terribles serán esos días para las mujeres embarazadas y para las madres que amamantan!

18 Y oren para que la huída no sea en invierno.

19 Pues habrá más angustia en esos días que en cualquier otro momento desde que Dios creó al mundo. Y jamás habrá una angustia tan grande.
